Jerry Ford of Columbia was apparently working on a vehicle in a shop on Sandusky Street, Columbia, KY, when some gasoline ignited and burned Ford, a nine year old boy, and a third person whose identity has not yet been learned. All three were transported to Westlake Regional Hospital, and the child was airlifted to UL Hospital in Louisville.

The fire occurred at around 7:45pmCT, Saturday, December 28, 2013.

The fire is currently under investigation by the Columbia Police Department. We are awaiting official reports with more from the Columbia Police Department and he Columbia/Adair County Fire Department. - Larry Smith

But this one stands out as one which drew one of the largest, if not the largest, crowds to its dedication - ever.
